Preparation

Step 1

In a skillet over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add onions and cook, stirring, until caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes.

Soften the matzo by breaking it up, putting it in a strainer and running hot water over it.

Add mushrooms and raise heat to medium-high. Continue to cook, stirring, until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.

Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan and let it melt. Add matzo and cook, tossing to coat matzo in butter, for 2 minutes.

Pour eggs into pan and season them generously with salt and pepper. Cook, scrambling mixture, until eggs are set, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
